Many customers with security concerns will not allow Java apps or JRE to
be installed on systems -- typically that's forbiden in DMZ-based systems
for example. poold, a java app, should be moved to a separate package so
installation of it can be avoided, together with all the java dependancies.

Customer is still upset.  This was filed in plenty of time to be fixed
for S10 and now a major account will have to be told that we didn't fix
it.  Why not?  Raising to P1.

The last conversation that I had with the submitter indicated that the customer was not really upset about having Java installed into a zone, but was in fact upset about X11 being installed.

That conversation was held shortly after the bug was submitted and I have heard nothing more about it. Since resolving the problem was obviously not as clear as the synopsis suggests, it was left unresolved.
